A significant impressive stash of Shiba, over the years, sent to unspendable wallets had decreased the circulation in supply. Well, to increase Shiba Inu’s price. To be fair, it hasn’t quite worked over the years. But this time, the burning activity might have produced a different outcome.
Trust the process? Maybe…
In the past 24 hours, nearly half a billion SHIB tokens have been shifted to a dead addresses, thus removing from the circulating supply. According to Shibburn’s 22 May update, a total of 452,370,514 Shiba Inu canine tokens got removed, taking 41 transfers.

The burning mechanism helps to reduce the supply of the token while increasing the demand for this crypto out of thousands of cryptocurrencies. It is crucial to keep a higher cryptocurrency price in this highly fluctuating cryptocurrency market. Shiba Inu investors are hoping that the coin-burning strategy might get this cryptocurrency out of the trouble in the ongoing bear cryptocurrency market.
Well, did it work? The SHIB token did showcase a 3% surge as it traded at $0.00001 mark with a potential to grow further. Following this, Shiba Inu returned to the top of the most actively purchased assets among dominant buyers, aka whales.

Institutional adoption also played a vital part to inject some enthusiasm regarding a token. This is no different. TAG Heuer partnered with BitPay to accept cryptocurrencies for payments in the U.S, including the meme coin Shiba Inu.
